Transformers: Unicron #1

The end is nigh! The Darkest Hour has come. Optimus Prime stages a desperate gamble as the world-eater, Unicron, approaches Windblade's homeworld-but that's just the appetizer.

I believe the Unicron issues will be mostly action pieces while the Optimus Prime and Lost Light issues will focus more on character moment. Of course, since this is the end, the body count is rising with each issue, but the characters aren't going out like punks so I say bring it on. Read Full Review

This is the beginning of an epic. One that feels like a desperate battle, one you don't know who will survive and how it'll end. For an epic story, IDW and its team have brought so much together to throw it in a pot delivering more than enough for fans to be excited about. As much as I have fond memories of the original animated film, this first issue feels like it's attempting to recreate that magic (and we even have a sacrifice already!) and by issue's end, it's pretty damn close.
